Title: Improvements in Cue Rests for Billiards.
Inventor: DAVIS EDWIN ALFRED
IPC: A63D15/10
Filed: 1912-08-26
Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 19,470. Davis, E. A., and Edgar, W. T. Aug. 26. Billiards, cue rests for.-A cue rest consists of a head B secured at the end of a shaft A and provided with a stud C which passes through a slot in the support or stand G. The head B has its pivoted end formed into a toothed segment concentric with the stud C, and this segment engages with a tooth F fixed in the stand G and locks the head in position. When the rest is lifted by the shaft, the slot in the head allows the segment to clear the tooth F so that it can be rotated by means of the shaft into a new position in which it is locked when the rest is placed on the table.

Abstract: 26,092. Senter, R. T. July 9. Steps; ingress and egress of passengers, controlling; emergency exits.- The doors for controlling the exit and entrance of passengers from and to the front p'atform of a tramcar open on to steps which a r e automatically raised when the corresponding doors are closed, means for actuating the doors separately or simultaneously from the motorman's station being provided. Au emergency door is also provided at the rear which can be operated from either end of the car and locked at the forward end. The exit and entrance are controlled by folding doors 2, 3 which are mounted on vertical shafts 6, 7. These shafts have cranks 15, 16 connected by rods 13, 14 to cranks 12, 11 on two concentric pillars 10, 9, Fig. 3, provided with hand-levers 24, 25 one above the other. To enable both levers to be moved together when required, a pin 29 on the lever 25 is pushed through a hole in the lever 24 by means of a lever 28 actuated by pressing a pin 31 in the handle of the lever 25. Hinged steps 4, 5 are connected up to the rods 13, 14 by means of rods 22, 122, bellcranks 19, 21, 119, and rods 17, 18 so that each step is operated simultaneously with its corresponding door. The rear door is mounted on a shaft 33 having a crank connected by a rod 35 to an arm on a vertical shaft 37 which carries a bell-crank. This bell-crank is connected by a rod 39 to a crank on a vertical shaft 41 extending through the front platform, and is also connected through a rod 38, a bell-crank, and a vertical rod to an arm on a short horizontal shaft 385 at the rear of the car. The shafts at both ends are squared to receive a detachable handle. The shaft 41 has a lateral projection which is engaged by a removable pin when required, so as to prevent it from rotating and thus lock the rear door. Specification 16,090/12 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Switches.
IPC: H01H71/52
Filed: 1913-01-20
Granted: 1914-02-20
Abstract: 1599. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Heath, H. C. Jan. 20. Automatic circuit - breakers. - Relates to switches or circuit-breakers for carrying large currents, of the type in which the bridging- contact a is supported by side links b pivoted to the base between the stationary contacts and forming part of the closing-mechanism. According to the invention, the side links are operatively connected to a system of links pivoted on the handle and normally held so as to form therewith' a rigid member which collapses when abnormal conditions exist on the circuit. As shown, toggle-links p, n extend from the side links b to. a point m coincident with the pivotal axis of the handle d. At this point, the link n is jointed to a link f pivoted directly on the handle, and the joint is, during normal working, held rigid by a catch g pivoted at another point of the handle, which latter point is connected by a link s with the junction of the links p, n. The switch is closed by pressing the handle down into the position shown in Fig. 1, and the closing effort is transmitted through the rigid link system s, f , n, g and the link p to the side links b. An overload is arranged to act on a lever k, and thus to dislodge the catch g. The switch then falls open to the position shown in Fig. 2, and is reset by first raising the handle till the catch g re-engages the joint m, thereby maintaining the handle links rigid, and afterwards pressing the handle down again. If the overload persists, the switch cannot be maintained closed. Specifications 19,498/00 and 1064/03 are referred to.

Abstract: 15,615. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Aug. 10, 1912, [Convention date]. Plane - trigonometry calculators. - Relates to mechanical triangles for determining the range and bearing of the target when laying stationary guns indirectly. According to the invention, the target is represented by a fixed point G in the apparatus, which is used at the gun-station, and the points 1, 3, which represent the gun and observation stations respectively, and bear a fixed relation to each other, are carried by a slide B. The position of the slide is adjusted in the frame A by a screw C until a reader b<3> on the slide indicates on a scale a<2>, the zero of which is at the end adjacent to the point G, the distance of the observation station from the target. The bearing of the target relatively to the direction 1-3 is set by rotating a graduated disk D, carrying an arm d<1> connecting the points 1, 3, until the bearing-angle is read on the scale d<2> on the disk D by a render b<5> on the slide B. An arm M is freely pivoted at the point 3 and is connected by an arm N to a sleeve E slidable upon the guntarget range scale F, the zero of which scale is at the point G. The members M, N, E, d<1> constitute a jointed parallelogram, the arm M of which is parallel to the gun-target direction. The arm M carries a reader h<1>, which indicates on a. second scale d<3> on the disc D the bearing of the target relatively to the gun station. A supplementary index i<3> reads fractions of the bearing-angle unit on a disk K<1>, which is rotated by toothed gearing when the angle changes. The positions of the two readers h<1>, i<3> is adjustable relatively to the scales d<3>, K<1> and to the arm M by a worm gear P, i<4> for drift and like corrections.

Abstract: 18,357. M÷ller, E. Aug. 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Gases, treating electrically.-The discharging-electrodes used in apparatus for separating suspended particles from gases by high - tension electric discharges are of strip-like shape arranged across the gas-flow with their sides parallel to the flow. It is convenient to form the electrodes from mica or similar laminated material and to give their edges a saw-like shape; thus, strips of mica 1 are secured between clamping-bodies 2, and after clamping, the projecting saw-like teeth are bent backwards to separate, the layers of the mica. A more perfect method, consists in securing together by a suitable binding-agent sheets of mica of great thinness, and after clamping, removing the binding-agent, which may be made up with suitable conducting-substances that remain after the binding-agent is removed. The discharging-electrodes 1 are mounted so as to alternate with plate collecting- electrodes 5, Fig. 4, and the supporting-means 4 for the discharging-electrodes 1 is provided with a discharging-electrode 9 to prevent the deposition of dust and consequent breakdown of the insulation.

Dividing by fusion.- In a process for cutting metals bv means of an oxygen jet and a gasoxygen heating-jet, the latter is supplied, for preliminarily heating the work before cutting, with a mixture corresponding in composition to explosive gas, and during cutting, with a composition poorer in oxygen. In the construction shown, hydrogen, acetylene, &c. supplied through a pipe H and oxygen through a pipe O2 pass into annular grooves in a body B, and mix in two passages V1, V2 at the sides of a central passage S supplied with oxygen for cutting from a pipe 01. Owing to the conical end of the nozzle D, the mixture passages are further from the work than the passage S. Figs. 2 and 1 show respectively the positions of the oxygen cock R during preliminary heating and cutting. The mixture jet is supplied before and during cutting through the port r and the fine port s respectively, the cutting-jet being supplied through ports p, q. A slightly modified arrangement of the ports r, s, in another construction, prevents loss of oxygen through the port s and the cutting-jet during preliminary heating.
